help: add a mechanism to change flags' help depending on config

It seems reasonable to have a similar mechanism for the rest of the
help, but no such thing is implemented.

The goal is to make the help of commands clearer in the presence of
significant default changes, like tweakdefaults or with company-wide
hgrcs. In these cases, a user looking at the help of a command doesn't
exactly know what his hgrc is doing.

Apply to this to the --git option of commands that display diffs, as
this option in particular causes confusion for some reason.

test sparse

  $ hg init myrepo
  $ cd myrepo
  $ cat >> $HGRCPATH <<EOF
  > [extensions]
  > sparse=
  > purge=
  > strip=
  > rebase=
  > EOF

  $ echo a > index.html
  $ echo x > data.py
  $ echo z > readme.txt
  $ cat > base.sparse <<EOF
  > [include]
  > *.sparse
  > EOF
  $ hg ci -Aqm 'initial'
  $ cat > webpage.sparse <<EOF
  > %include base.sparse
  > [include]
  > *.html
  > EOF
  $ hg ci -Aqm 'initial'

Clear rules when there are includes

  $ hg debugsparse --include *.py
  $ ls
  data.py
  $ hg debugsparse --clear-rules
  $ ls
  base.sparse
  data.py
  index.html
  readme.txt
  webpage.sparse

Clear rules when there are excludes

  $ hg debugsparse --exclude *.sparse
  $ ls
  data.py
  index.html
  readme.txt
  $ hg debugsparse --clear-rules
  $ ls
  base.sparse
  data.py
  index.html
  readme.txt
  webpage.sparse

Clearing rules should not alter profiles

  $ hg debugsparse --enable-profile webpage.sparse
  $ ls
  base.sparse
  index.html
  webpage.sparse
  $ hg debugsparse --include *.py
  $ ls
  base.sparse
  data.py
  index.html
  webpage.sparse
  $ hg debugsparse --clear-rules
  $ ls
  base.sparse
  index.html
  webpage.sparse
